About Me |
|
HALLOWEEN, ALASKA is a band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Work is underway on a third full-length release. The self-titled debut and follow-up "Too Tall Hide" are available via the iTunes Music Store and various online CD merchants. You may also ask for them by name at your local record shop. "[FOUR STARS]...HALLOWEEN, ALASKA's emotive verve and electro-organic poise is so accomplished, you'd think you'd got your hands on The Blue Nile's mislaid comeback album." —Mojo Magazine "A lot of bands claim not to fit any preexisting pop music genre, but few can back up such claims as convincingly as Minneapolis-based HALLOWEEN, ALASKA...jittery-jungly and swooningly melodic...sonically large and weirdly cathartic...Highly recommended." —All Music GuideMore info at www.halloweenalaska.com . Booking inquiries should be sent to halloweenalaska [at] tds.net . |
